🗳️ Voting Reminders

Improve advanced delegation voting

Action proposed: governor contract upgrade

This proposal by Agora updates the Token House’s governance smart contract after the last governor update which included advanced delegation, allowing  token holders to delegate their voting power to multiple delegates without splitting their balance.

The change would upgrade the governor contract, allowing delegates who have received advanced delegation to vote by signing only one transaction and providing a better experience.

If approved, a Citizen’s veto vote will follow from April 18th to April 24th before implementation.

Season 5: Intents Budget Proposal #2

Action proposed: redirect funds towards Mission Requests

The Grants Council proposes using the 1.040.000 OP intended to return to the Gov Fund towards 5 Mission Requests. Additionally, the Grants Council will allocate 1M OP to 3 other missions, this 1M OP amount has already been approved in the Token’s House Budget.

This funding for these mission requests allows for the Grant Council not to decrease the number of finalists in Cycle 22 compared to the previous cycle.
